How come nothing happens after I hit start?
There are two possible causes of this:
- You do not have any limits added to be datamined
- You have the Manual Operation Mode item checked in the options menu.
How come I am not getting any hand histories with IdleMiner FullTilt?
- Make sure you have hand history extension saved to .txt
- Make sure you enable Keep Persistent Copies of .tmp files
- In FTP, go to Options->Hand History and make sure you have enabled Save Hand Histories
- Make sure the output path for FTP and IdleMiner match and that there is a folder with that name. If there isn't one, create it.
This can be caused by one of two things:
- You have the output location specified incorrectly in IdleMiner, try changing this to a new directory and pointing PokerTracker to this new directory.
- You have IdleMiner set to save hands as an hhf extension, but do not have PokerTracker trying to import from the IdleMiner output directory as OBSERVED hands. Try changing the extension from hhf to txt, or vice versa.

- You have paid via e-Check, in which case we must wait until the check clears before paypal posts the order to us. This typically takes 3 business days.
